Version 3.3 of The Bright Black Sea Released

Version 3.3 (10 May 2016) of The
Bright Black Sea is now available on Smashwords and Amazon. In the
coming days it will trickle down to iBooks, B & N, and Kobo as
well. I had hoped that version 3.0 would be the final one, but, alas,
it proved not to be the case. However, thanks to R. Carlos, who read the story
on his ipad, noted the errors he found and sent those notes along to
me to fix, we now have a significantly better version. Between his
180 items, and going over the story again with MS Word's spell and
grammar checker, I've squashed something like 200 “bugs” in the
text. I'm sure that's the last of them. If you can prove me wrong,
please do so. Send in any typos you find from version 3.3 to me at cmlitka@gmail.dom I'd like
to do print editions of my books, but I don't want to go that route
until I'm confident that they're not riddled with typos. I gather print editions generally don't sell all that well, but I'm not in
this for the money, so that doesn't matter. What matters is that I'd have print books, which would greatly simplify my Christmas gift giving… But this depends on how confident I am that my print books will be professional enough.

Version 3.3 also sports
a slightly new cover again. I've added “Captain Wil Litang's
Adventures #1” to the title, using my old cover art once again on
all the versions.
